Instructions

Cut each pear in half and remove core and seeds with a small knife or melon baller. Place in a large saucepan with wine, honey, water and lemon juice and lemon peel. Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

Flip pears over and simmer for 10 minutes more. Remove from liquid and let cool.

Place 3/4 cup poaching liquid in a small saucepan with raisins. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes or until raisins are plump and syrupy.

Place each pear cut side up on a dessert plate. Top with equal amounts of raisins then sprinkle with crushed cookies.

Stir together sour cream, honey and cinnamon; place a spoonful on the side of each serving.
